Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A vulnerability was determined in Tenda AC1206 15.03.06.23. Affected by this issue is the function formBehaviorManager of the file /goform/BehaviorManager of the component httpd. Executing a manipulation of the argument modulename/option/data/switch can lead to command injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The Tenda AC1206 router firmware 15.03.06.23 contains a command injection vulnerability in the httpd web server's /goform/BehaviorManager endpoint. The formBehaviorManager function fails to sanitize user-supplied input in the modulename, option, data, and switch parameters before passing them to a system shell, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.

MitigationUpdate the Tenda AC1206 to the latest firmware version from Tenda's support website. If no patch is available, disable the affected httpd service, restrict administrative access to trusted IPs, or replace the device.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm device is a Tenda AC1206
    Access the router's web administration interface and check the device model information, typically found on the status or system settings page
    Affected if The device is not a Tenda AC1206 router
  2. Identify the installed firmware version
    Log into the router's admin panel and navigate to the System Settings, Administration, or Firmware Upgrade section to view the current firmware version. Alternatively, access the device via telnet or SSH and check /etc/version or /proc/firmware_version
    Affected if The firmware version is exactly 15.03.06.23
  3. Verify the httpd web service is running
    Attempt to access the router's web interface via HTTP (port 80) or HTTPS (port 443) from a connected client. Confirm the httpd process is active by accessing the device via telnet/SSH and running 'ps | grep httpd'
    Affected if The httpd web server is not accessible or not running
  4. Check if the BehaviorManager endpoint is exposed
    Send an HTTP GET or POST request to http://<router-ip>/goform/BehaviorManager or attempt to access the page through the web browser. The endpoint is present if the router responds (even with an error) rather than returning a 404
    Affected if The /goform/BehaviorManager endpoint is accessible and responds to requests

A Tenda AC1206 router running firmware version 15.03.06.23 with the httpd web server active and the /goform/BehaviorManager endpoint exposed is affected by this vulnerability.
